Sometimes I can't pan the camera with my mouse. I did this routinely by clicking and dragging the screen for about two years before I went away from the game in the summer. I came back in January and since then every now and then dragging the screen simply does not work. I can drag and drop icons in my power tray, click doors, glowies, contacts, and inspirations. I can use the scroll wheel to zoom in and out, but that's it. The mouse acts normally in other programs.
But in CoH I can go for several days with normal performance and then have camera panning crap out on me without warning. It's happened on zoning, in mid-fight, in the base, and so forth. I've tried zoning, switching characters, quitting to the desktop and re-logging. Someone I was teamed with a few days ago suggested switching in and out of first-person view, but that didn't help. When it happens it happens and then I can't pan the camera except with the keyboard until the game decides I've had enough and relents.
My keyboard and mouse both have fresh batteries and transmit to the same receiver. I can pan with the keyboard, but it's awkward and not my habit. I've cleaned the bottom of the mouse, switched batteries, and nothing seems to make any difference. When it happens it happens until it quits, apparently as randomly as it comes.
Is this happening to anybody else? Is there some way I can fix it or am I just stuck using the keyboard when the client gets moody?
